Irish nurse looking to relocate..

Published

Hi I'm an RGN and I qualified in 2013. I've been doing Agency work since in the hospitals. Lately I've been thinking about relocating. I'm open to working in any country. I would love to relocate permanently to the U.S. Where would I start with this? Is

difficult to get into? Are there any companies or agencies that specifically deal with nurses looking to relocate? How can I find out more info on this? I have a husband and 2 kids,do any agencies relocate families? Thanks for your help 😃

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

Does your transcript show clinical and theory in adult, geriatric, pediatric, maternity/obstetrics, and psych/mental health? Do you have specialized experience or just agency? There is no shortage of nurses but there are areas seeking experienced specialty trained nurses (critical care, OR/theater, etc). Not many companies will pay to relocate a family unless the nurse is in a high need specialty difficult to fill position.

Start with determining if you meet generalist nursing education requirements of the US

Hi no I haven't started yet. I've been working long days and nights. I've two days off now so I'm going to have a look. I'm still no wiser though. I've also been thinking about Austrailia. It's so difficult. I want to make the right move. I'm not loaded so that's why I was looking for a relocation package that might help a bit towards the move.

We have literally just started looking into it and it appears to be rather a lengthy process í ½í¸³

Are you still working on the bank, if you don't mind me asking.

What do you mean "on the bank"?

Currently with many US nurses looking for work I would be surprised if you find any hospital offering relocation expenses unless it is a very undesirable area to ork and the hospitals are desperate and will have penalties attached

Thanks for replying. Yes I'm still going bank/agency work at the moment. I understand that it's quite difficult to live and work in America. I am willing to relocate to any country if the job was right.
